Advice from UK Applicants needed

Hay VJ

ive just been looking at the next stage after NVC CC, not got it yet which is why im a little worried about getting a Check List.

my question is referance Our Birth Certificate. I being a little naive thought there was only the birth certificate i have the short version having read this on the london embassy website.

Birth Certificate: Obtain the original, or certified copy (provided by the issuing authority), of the birth record of each family member (yourself, your spouse, and all unmarried children under the age of 21, even if they are not immigrating with you. If the children are deceased, so state giving year of death). Note: We will not accept the short form version of a UK birth certificate. The certificate must list both parents' names.

i obviously have only sent in a copy of the short version to the nvc. i appreciate i will need the full version for the interview but does anyone have any info on what they sent and if they recieved a check list for the short version.

also will i require my wifes original birth cert for the interview?

thank you in advance

Hi there

I wouldn't worry to much as even if they do require a longer birth certificate you can order it online and it gets delivered in a few days. I did that for our I-130 petition.

I know it's not difficult to get one for the interview I'm just worried about being at NVC for longer than necessary due to a check list

From the NVC website

Birth

• England and Wales (including Scilly Isles and Isle of Wight):Available. Certificates of births, adoptions, deaths and marriages may be obtained from the General Register Office, Smedley Hydro, Trafalgar Road, Southport, Merseyside PR8 2HH, or from the local registrar's office in the district in which the birth, death or marriage was originally registered. Long-form birth certificates should be requested, as short-form birth certificates do not contain the parents' name

this is the checlist on the link from the embassy with NVC processing

Birth Certificate: An original or certified copy for each applicant. The date, place of birth, and parent(s) name(s) must be shown on the birth certificate.

the more i look at it the more it looks like its going to happen. i think the best case scenario will be a checklist that i can bring to the interview

No, you won't need your wife's original birth certificate. Have a copy with you, but no original necessary.
